He did not want to put a deadline to close his coach, but José Luis Pérez Caminero, in his presentation as the new sports director of Málaga, sent a clear message that the chosen technician will help in the configuration of the blue and white squad. And that forces to close it as soon as possible, without rushing but without being able to wait forever.

Hence, the option of Fran Escribá, which was preferred by Caminero, has been diluted in the last hours. The Valencian already declined a month and a half ago the interest of Málaga with the argument of waiting for the movements in the First benches. The arrival of Rubi to Espanyol and the influence of García Quilón seemed to bring him closer to La Rosaleda, but returning to the silver category and in a project with severe economic limitations does not finish filling him. Too much risk

This being the case, the name of Rubén Baraja resonates with more force if possible. He still has a year of contract and the president of Sporting, Javier Fernández, has already declared that he has him, although the Valladolid does not seem so convinced. There is still a pending meeting between the two parties to resolve differences.

But, meanwhile, Málaga presses and pushes, testing other options offered by the market. And although it may seem a lie, for the third time Juan Ramón López Muñiz appears on the list. The gijonés already rejected Husillos’ first offer and on the second occasion it was Al Thani who said no when he had already agreed to his return as coach and sports director. Now, Muñiz is still without equipment and if the Baraja is not solved soon, it could be that the third was the loser.A staff of 20 professionals

The first thing that Caminero did after his presentation before the media was to close himself in his new office with his “eyes and voice”, as he himself affirmed, Juan Rodríguez. There they were, with the rest of the members of the technical secretariat and some other collaborator, studying the team and making the first decisions about players.

The idea, expressed in public, was to have a short staff of professionals. On the one hand, the objective of reducing the enormous wage bill that drowns the club’s economy would be fulfilled; on the other, it would allow a greater participation of homegrown players.

The goal, perhaps utopian, is to have 20 players with the first team number when it is now 27. The first starts could come in the form of transfer with Rolón and Cecchini, who still enjoy a good sign in Argentina. The most complicated will be those who have several years of contract but do not have them, regardless of the coach that comes. The case of Cenk Gönen is the clearest of all.

With Ramón Planes out of action in the blue scenario, Getafe now has the mission to incorporate as quickly as possible a new sports director so that this plot is no longer orphaned in a few important weeks in which there are several names stored in the offices Alfonso Perez Coliseum to complete the template.

The chosen by Getafe is Nico Rodriguez, current sports director of Albacete and who would have given the ‘yes’ to Angel Torres, who also negotiate with the manchego box the incorporation of Mauro Pérez, currently in the sports management of the Madrid team, Carlos Belmonte for these functions.

What knows Angel Torres is that this week is key and should be final to alleviate as soon as the departure of Ramón Planes and continue working on the making of the template and with three names insured such as Oswaldo Alanís, Leandro Chichizola and Jaime Mata.

Santi Cazorla spoke yesterday for El Transistor and said he is very excited to play football again and do the preseason with Villarreal: “I have the feeling that now I can try to do that pre-season with Villarreal, before that was unthinkable” .

The ex-international still has not finished believing him and if he does it again he has made a promise with a former Villarreal player: “A few months ago I could not walk and now I am training and I feel comfortable. I return to play we went up to Los Lagos de Covadonga by bicycle from Oviedo “.

Finally, the midfielder thanked all the effort to Villarreal and described his future return to the playground as the best day of his life. “It is impossible to return to Villarreal everything he has done for me, not only now.” If I play again it will be the happiest day of my sports life; We have worked hard for it, both my family and I, “he concluded.
